During his first season in the NHL, Dmitri Voronkov proved that he was a top player. In 69 games on the ice, he sent 17 pucks into the net of the opponents and made 15 assists on goals.

His performance demonstrates his ability not only to score but also to support his team effectively.

Possible Move Back to the KHL

After his successful stint in the NHL, Voronkov may return to the KHL. Hints from reports have it that Ak Bars, the former team of Voronkov between 2018 and 2023, is eyeing the player with so much desire to make a comeback.

He had scored 37 goals in his Ak Bars career, pointing at ability and potential. Now, with improved skills showcased since his time in the NHL, there are quite a comprehension for Ak Bars to re-sign him by this time. The ongoing negotiations suggest a strong possibility of his return to the KHL.

Impact and Speculations

This development, therefore, comes amidst speculations that Voronkov was feeling homesick and was almost considering moving back to Russia. This, therefore, would be a very big blow for the Blue Jackets as Voronkov, in the past few weeks, had been at the top lines. For the Jackets, the question is whether his departure means they just lost him, or rather how big of a loss it is, but for Ak Bars, just how much of a boost would that mean if he were to come back?
